The Supreme Court's ruling is clear: Trump needs to back off Chicago.
This was never about law and order. It was always a wanna-be dictator's mad grab for power to crush dissent and intimidate innocent citizens.
Trump's unlawful domestic deployments must come to an end.

ICE’s occupation in Memphis, the largest Black-majority city in the country, has reshaped daily life, keeping kids out of school, turning grocery shopping into a mission that risks one’s family being torn apart.

This is my friend's cat. Its name is Cookie Swirl, and it disappeared in the American section of Charlotte airport on 11/10. We're asking for your help. She doesn't have any other socials, so if you can post it widely to see if anyone knows where it is. It's a little thing, but matters a lot to her.

This is really incredible. The government's battle to deport Abrego Garcia has apparently been based on a lie from the start. Not even the "gang affiliation" lie or the "human smuggling" lie, but the more basic assertion that he was ordered to be deported in the first place.
🚨Judge Xinis finds that, incredibly, Mr. Abrego Garcia was never ordered deported in 2019. She notes that every since this saga began all the way back in March, the government has NEVER been able to produce any evidence that the immigration judge actually issued a removal order.

So glad to be posting something POSITIVE from the government for a change!
My bipartisan IRS MATH Act with Senator Bill Cassidy is now law.
Now, if you mess up your taxes, the IRS has to tell you where you made a mistake and how to fix it.
No more spending a fortune on lawyers or hours to find errors.
That means fewer headaches and more money in your pocket.
